I got so pumped to complete almost all my weeklies in a single day yesterday and the resources I got didn't turn into anything new for me.

I need a shoulder to cry on.

Then again, if I can do this much it means I probably have a deep enough ship rotation to handle at least one stage of the Musashi event now, whenever that comes out.

Which is more financially sustainable? Launching Hyahaa with another low-cost CVL or just Akagi?

Also, how do you judge stats on a carrier? Since firepower/torpedo stat aren't relevant to them. I'm not even very sure how relevant the anti-air is, since it's the planes that does the job.

I run both; a CVL (Chiyoda) and Akagi. I never worried about supplies running out on them. It's the elusive Kongo and her sisters that eats my supplies whenever I try to craft one of them and my BBs and heavy cruisers eating up ammo and fuel.
For stats on the carrier, better plane capacity, better armor and better evasion is a better carrier though I place plane capacity above all.

Here's my fleet currently and I'm trying to level up my BBs and heavy cruisers to level 30 before they tackle the 2-4 boss. I usually replace one BB or 2 heavy cruisers with the DDs or light cruisers I want to train so I can remodel them. That way I can still train the ships I want for 2-4 boss battle while at the same time "boosting" the ships are quite difficult to level like destroyers

She was my first CVL (because no other CVL dropped from the time I was clearing 1-3 and 1-4) so she kinda stuck with me until now. Not that she's useless she dodges enemy fire more than Akagi could hope for (though by now since Akagi is higher levelled, I'd say they're roughly equal now).

Alas, admiral, I have been in your shoes. Yamashiro actually is a somewhat common drop from stage 2-2's boss. In general, you don't have to kill yourself leveling a CVL/CV right off the bat. Ooi and Soopah Kitakami-san after level 10 are also great for taking out enemy boats without breaking the bank--even better if you can rip the midget submarines off of Chitose/Chiyoda's level 12 upgrades and stick them on the torp cruisers instead.

Interpret this as you wish.

My Chiyoda, Akagi and Kaga have maxed firepower and they deliver 80~120 (this is just from my memory. I might test this later) on hits on heavy cruisers in 3-3 and 4-2. I don't know if that's higher than other anons'.

From what I can remember it affects only the ship equipped (I have only one which is equipped on Maya from her upgraded form and the other on reserve from upgraded Isuzu). Though I was expecting it will affect the fleet as a whole.
Regarding 2-4 they say you need at least level 35 ships to clear 2-4 or at least have decent equipment. Probably roll 3 battleships mounting 46cms and CVs with the best torpedo bomber, dive bomber and fighter on board and probably other ships with AA or radar or torpedoes. It really depends on you but at least have a decent mix of ships and equipment.

Level 15 steeless admiral here, that's extremely depressing to hear.

I was having severe resource issues, and I managed to solve all of them except steel. Other than running the 20 min expedition 3 times every hour I've yet to find another way to relaibly farm them.

And with my 2-x leveling runs I keep losing them faster than I earn them.

A few tips for resources management :

Don't make expensive equiment at low level, if you have lots of resources to spend, build ships

Normally you shouldn't lose many plane on sorties, if they cost you too much, place more fighter in you carrier if you enemy have carrier too

Carrier should never join PVP drill. If you carrier really need those exp, remove their planes first

battleships or CV at low level are fine, just level-up and upgrade them ASAP so they have less chance to take damage

The map won't disapper, if you got stuck, level up more first, don't push too hard and waste all of your fuel and steel to repairs.

>> No.11373681

I don't even see how it's possible to run out of steel doing repairs unless you're just bucketing carriers and battleships over and over. It takes like, twenty steel an hour.

My heavy cruisers/CVL keeps getting gibbed on 2s.

Why is Furutaka so good? I have like six heavy cruisers, but none of them is as good at dodging shells as her. She literally was not scratched in three hours worth of sorties (about 15-20 sorties) while all the other heavy cruiser gets sent to the shipyard every two battle or so. Only problem is that she eats quite a lot of oil compare to my destroyers, and I'm running into oil shortage because of her.

Thanks Compass-musu. Took the most battle-filled route to 4-3 boss. I was worried that I may not have enough ammo for night battle, but it worked out. No drop after S rank is kind of a bummer, though.

Check if your Kitakami/Ooi can dodge enemy fire better than your BBs. If yes then go for them. You BBs will be taking a beating and once you reach the boss it's likely most of them are damaged enough. And kick that level 1 BB out of your team. She'll be eating crits more than Akagi could hope for.

You need overall ship level around 30, so grow that carrier and BBs first. And for Ooi/Kitakami, I think as long as they could survive until boss, go for it.

>> No.11375220

Yeah, normal maps it only blocks you if you're completely full. Stopping you if you didn't have multiple spaces empty was only for the event maps that rewarded you with a ship when you cleared them.

How does modernizing and remodeling work?

Modernizing sacrifices ships to add stats, but is there a limit to how many ships you can consume? Does it matter if you eat 1 ship or 5 at once?

Remodeling makes a new ship version with base stats/level reset to default right? Do you lose your stats from modernization?

>> No.11375427

>>11375414
From experience, adding more ships increases the chances of success.
You can only fuse ships on if you haven't reached the stat cap for all the bonuses they give. If the fusion has at least one stat that can still be boosted, you can still fuse.

I don't know if remodeling resets modernization, but I think it does.

>> No.11375423

>>11375414
post-refit stats are different (generally higher) than level 1 stats, and yes the stats get reset to base level of post-refit stats.

For modernization, I think there's a small bonus for using more than one ship at once.

>> No.11375457

>>11375414
You will succeed 100% for modernization if you use 2 or more ships. Though the real amount of successful ship that's fused is still random (like when you use 4 ships, the increment may only come from 1 ship, or all of them, but never be 0).

>> No.11375462

>>11375427
It seems to be dependent on the maximum possible bonus. Modernization never "fails" unless the random roll gives you no bonus whatsoever. So if you're expecting a max bonus of +1 to 1 stat (not uncommon when eating 1 ship), there's a much higher chance of failure.

From anecdotal observation I don't think stat caps affect that though. For example, if you're 1 away from the cap and fuse 2 ships which would normally give you a +4 bonus, you still have a high chance of success. I think.

But then, failure doesn't really make a big difference unless you're specifically doing it for the quest bonus. Fusing 2 ships for a maximum +5 bonus and rolling a +1 counts as "success" according to the game, but it's still pretty sad.

Well, Chitose's stats for her lv. 15 upgrade seem to be sub-par for a light carrier, so people hold off until the later ones where she becomes decent for one. Seems like her usefulness (and refuel/repair cost) as a seaplane tender is better than her first light carrier form.

I'm fairly certain that her lv. 35 remodel makes her into a decent light carrier, so that one's good. It's just that I've heard her lv. 50 one makes her into one of the best.
I think people hold off for the lv. 50 one because she's still a decent seaplane until then, and costs less to repair and refuel so it's easier to get to lv. 50 with her like that than it would be as a light carrier.

Lay off on putting all your heavy hitters in one fleet this early on. Usually a mix of destroyers and heavy cruisers is good enough for map 1.

There is no real PvP, you're not gaining anything in the short run by lugging a giant ship around except giant maintenance and repair bills.

As for firepower, crits appear to make up the difference in caliber between BB main cannons and smaller guns. 2-3 will require some nice big guns and air squadrons for sure, but it's a big jump from the main daily stage, 2-2, where a CA in the high teens/early 20s will make about 80% of the good results for 50% of the maintenance of a similarly leveled BB.

Also, still can't emphasize this enough for newbies--don't even think about doing 2-4 past the first node, even if the first node is as easy as a 2-2 boss group.

My condolences, but if you ever misclick again and don't feel too bad about abusing the game minorly, you can close/refresh the game (tab, window, whatever) and it'll kick you out of the mission immediately.

The kanji colors correspond roughly to the guns of the same color. Red are standard bombers, green are air superiority fighters, and blue are torpedo bombers.
There's also yellow, which are recon, but they're rarer.
Torpedo bombers and fighters only launch in the pre-battle phase, while bombers launch during both then and the day battle phase. I think there's some that launch at night too, but I'm not sure.

It's all fixed what you get.
Check the expedition section of the wiki
http://wikiwiki.jp/kancolle/?%B1%F3%C0%AC
Or use this chart if you're too lazy to translate everything. The left set of rewards is the actual reward per expedition, and the right set is the hourly rate if you run them continuously.

The consensus seems to be expedition 5 is the best for fuel, while 3 is the best for steel. (they're marked in red on the image if you forget).

Like >>11377778 said it would be easier to wait unless you are feeling impatient. I like to wait till before I go to sleep and then try and and go for the huge projects that would take 4+ hours and save high speed construction material that way. The only thing you should be worrying about sometimes is development materials because you can go crazy in trying to build things. It's important to note that you can go over 99 for each one of those even if it just stays at 99 in your Items tab. Pic related on the bottom is how many buckets I've saved up since after the event.

"Those alien things are clearly allied vessels and Japan is glorifying Imperial Japan, again"

"My (grand)father is a veteran and he found this offensive"

etc etc. They don't even have to be valid complaints. The point is that the devs aren't willing to take risks, when there's no guarantee that they'll be making enough money to make the risk-taking worthy.

>> No.11379197

All you terrible people who are arguing about localizing this game need to go help with the English wiki instead. Even filling out simple things like composition quest blank table squares is needed right now.

Unless you're not playing the game because it isn't in English and/or you're butthurt about not getting picked for server lottery. You guys can go fuck yourselves.

>> No.11379198

shit like that hasn't stopped games from being released here before.

Ok maybe some games, but not all of them. Especially ones without actual sexual content.

>> No.11379199

Also, this game already has capacity problems and there's no way they're going to let a bunch of gaijins flood in when they could be serving Moonlanders that have a higher probability of giving them money, like in mobile games.

I got in and I'm enjoying it, but having an actual western release(IMO), would be better for the majority of western people looking to play/are playing this game right now.

But yeah, the best thing to do for now anyway is to work on the wiki.

There's no reason to release this game in the west. The profit to be made is next to none, setting up servers, maintaining servers, and having to advertise just to draw in players would already net them at a loss.

Westerns players aren't like eastern players, most of them don't find the appeal for moe.

For niche games being brought over, you can see games like koihime musou and sword girls(popular in korea, not that popular in japan but it can maintain itself with a decent player base to the point in which it makes its own content) which are basically dead in the dirt at this point

Why would Kantai Collection be any different? Browser games outside of facebook have absolutely 0 appeal
